Donald Trump's Steve Kerr Remarks Prove Sports, Politics Inseparable (via NBCSAuthentic)
Warriors' gamble on big man Marquese Chriss looks like it will pay offSAN FRANCISCO – The Warriors gave up on Damian Jones, their 2016 first-round draft pick, after losing confidence in his evolution from 7-foot athlete into reliable NBA contributor. They traded him in July because, after three years, they’d exhausted their patience.
“Marquese has been really, really impressive,” coach Steve Kerr said, adding that he plans to start Chriss at center Monday, when the Warriors face the Lakers at Staples Center.“Marquese has been great the whole training camp,” Green said. A man unwanted by two of the league’s sorriest franchises is passing the eye test of a Warriors team coming off five consecutive trips to the NBA Finals and expected to make the playoffs this season. Sports can be strange that way, right?Like Jones, Chriss was drafted because scouts liked his size , his length and his leaping ability . It all added up to immense upside. And there have been occasional flashes of that projected potential. Gorgeous spin moves. Fantastic shot rejections.
“He’s been on three teams already in his brief career, so we’re probably getting him at a good time,” Kerr said. “He’s had some opportunities that haven’t gone his way, for whatever reason. Now, all of a sudden, he’s got a great opportunity because we’ve got guys hurt at that spot and he’s making the most of it.In 39 minutes over two games, Chriss had produced 16 points , 17 rebounds, eight assists and two blocks.
